Potential Yankees target at MLB trade deadline has monster day at the plate image

As rumors circulate as the MLB Trade Deadline looms, Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to put on a show.

Against the New York Yankees on Saturday, Guerrero reminded his rivals what they could be getting if they were to make a surprising acquisition at the July 30 deadline.

Guerrero had a monster day at the plate Saturday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI, including a bases-clearing double that blew the game wide open.

While it's unlikely the last-place Blue Jays will deal Guerrero in the division to the Yankees, the rumors have been circulating.

Guerrero even changed his tune a bit in terms of potentially playing for the Yankees, stating that whatever team trades for him will be getting his best effort every day.

The deadline is officially one month away, and Guerrero's dominant performance against the Yankees is another example of how badly they need to add more bats to this lineup.
